Hey guys,
I've been looking at dragons for about 6-8 months, shortly after I got my family started on leopard geckos (have 5 now ). Well I've got mealies and dubia roaches going strong for my geckos and have been wanting to add a dragon to my reptile family. Posted an add on Craigslist asking if anyone had a dragon they were unable to keep anymore and got a promising answer back. The kid has the dragon but just moved in with his mother and she won't let him bring it from his fathers house and his father won't (can't?) care for it while he's gone. I'm not sure if I'm going to get the tank and set up w/ the dragon or not but I also have a 75gal TALL tank that I'm going to get for him even if he dose come with his own setup.
OK so here's what I know I need - Bugs (as stated I already have lots of them to my mother in laws displeasure lol), Greens (collards, kale, basically anything but lettuce), UV Light (ReptiSUN 10.0 going the length of the tank correct?), Heat light (one side of the tank temps 100-110F right?, cool side 85-90F), Water bowl, already have dust for the bugs, will be doing tile for the tank and building 'rocks' for hides and to climb on.... anything else? It's 4:30am so I don't THINK I've left anything out lol :lol:
Please feel free to point anything out that I've missed, want to do this right. Oh yah,what heat lamp should I get, what is the price on it? HA oh yah and I've as yet to say anything to hubby about the new guy *cringe* :lol: :lol: :lol: He spoils me though and loves the geckos so as long as I take care of the guy and he doesn't smell poop he's not gona mind.
Thanks for any help and advice you can give me,
